Understanding Compact Object Formation and Natal Kicks I. Calculation Methods and the case of GRO J1655-40
B. Willems, M. Henninger, T. Levin +5
In recent years proper motion measurements have been added to the set of observational constraints on the current properties of Galactic X-ray binaries. We develop an analysis that…
The Galactic Formation Rate of Eccentric Neutron Star-White Dwarf Binaries
Vassiliki Kalogera, Chunglee Kim, Duncan R. Lorimer +2
In this paper we consider the population of eccentric binaries with a neutron star and a white dwarf that has been revealed in our galaxy in recent years through binary pulsar obse…
Mapping inspiral rates on population synthesis parameters
R. O'Shaughnessy, V. Kalogera, K. Belczynski
Formation rates of compact-object binaries are often derived from population synthesis calculations. However, such calculations depend sensitively on a relatively large number of m…
The Galactic Double-Neutron-Star Merger Rate: Most Current Estimates
Chunglee Kim, Vassiliki Kalogera, Duncan R. Lorimer +2
We summarize our results on the Galactic merger rate of double neutron stars (DNS) in view of the recent discovery of PSR J0737-3039. We also present previously unpublished results…
The Probability Distribution of Binary Pulsar Coalescence Rate Estimates. II. Neutron Star-White Dwarf Binaries
Chunglee Kim, Vassiliki Kalogera, Duncan R. Lorimer +1
We consider the statistics of pulsar binaries with white dwarf companions (NS-WD). Using the statistical analysis method developed by Kim et al. (2003) we calculate the Galactic co…
